Neil Cavuto To MSM: If Palin, Bachmann And Trump Are Losers, Why Cover Them?

Video
» 105 comments

Neil Cavuto noticed the intense coverage as of late for many potential Republican presidential candidates who are often dismissed by the mainstream media as being on the “fringe.” Cavuto suggested that the reason the media tries to laugh them off is because many are “seriously worried that these possible candidates aren’t jokes.”

Cavuto shared with his audience how when he started on Fox News, nobody took him or the channel seriously. Now that he and Fox have grown in prominence and credibility, he realized that the way he previously was treated is the the same way Republican candidates are being treated now. Cavuto suggested that the motto of the media is “if you can’t beat’em, laugh at ‘em and hope folks dismiss them.” Yet if all the Republican candidates are clowns, Cavuto wonders why do so many news outlets continue to cover them?

The most intriguing moment came with Cavuto’s not-so-subtle jab at Chris Matthews. Cavuto asked, “if one pretentious snob at another channel says Michele Bachmann looks like she’s hypnotized, what is behind her hypnotic appeal on your not so appealing show?” And more generally, he questioned “if Donald Trump is a flash-in-the-plan, why do you keep flashing the same plan?” Instead, Cavuto seems to suggest that even if the media tries “to make a collective joke out of all of them along the way,” one of these supposedly “fringe” candidates very possibly could emerge as the legitimate Republican nominee.

    We still don’t. Don’t kid yourself otherwise.

    The media just needs to remind us 24/7 of which people they aren’t interested in.

    Well, the left prides itself on being Super Duper Serious. So it’s a legitimate question: why waste so much time on tearing down supposedly unserious people? Why not ignore them and instead propose some ideas to help America Winz Teh Futuerz? (Besides spending more money that we don’t have, I mean.)

  • Probably NOT wrong

    Cavuto is on at 4PM for Gods sake, and kicks the Crap out of all
    the MSNBC Prime Time guys and guys on MSNBC in ratings two or
    three to one, Then Beck come on a 5 PM and kicks some more.
    Drives y’all libs crazy, don’t it?

    Cavuto is a lying sack of crap. Go back and watch him brag about the coverage F#X gave the “Million Man March” a FULL YEAR before they went on the air.
    As for their ratings, every nursing home I’ve visited in the last three years has had F#X on in the “drool room” where the staff put the Alzheimer’s patients.

  • TfT

    Well, just maybe, it’s because ,when the smart people “cover” the “losers”, they win elections.

  • Alz

    The media covers Palin, Bachmann , etc. because they HATE them.

    When the liberals hate something, they have to tear it down. They never ignore it.

    If a *conservative* doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
    If a *liberal *doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

    If a *conservative* is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat.
    If a *liberal* is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

    If a *conservative* doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels.
    *Liberals* demand that those they don’t like be shut down.

    If a *conservative* is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church.
    A *liberal *non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it’s a foreign religion, of course!)

    If a *conservative *decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
    A *liberal* demands that the rest of us pay for his.

    If a *conservative *slips and falls in a store, he gets up, laughs and is embarrassed.
    If a *liberal *slips and falls, he grabs his neck, moans like he’s in labor and then sues.

    They just HATE Palin and Bachmann so they HAVE to work to tear them down.

    You liberals are such idiots. You can’t fathom how people watch Fox so you have to make up storied about the people who do watch it. Child.

  • The Dweller Ysul

    You know, Cavuto might be on to something. Fox runs twenty-four seven derogatory coverage of the President, and we all know that they’re scared shitless that he’s gonna win again in 2012. Nah! If the ‘pubs run Trump, Bachmann or Palin against him, I still don’t see many democrats, liberals, the media, the Obama campaign, the bookies, the psychics, being too worried. In other words, Neal, that will not be nervous laughter.

    Anyway, Cavuto’s brain was long ago impaled on his widow’s peak, and he often comes up with these what-are-you-talking-about-Neal “gotchas” which make you realize he doesn’t get much human contact.

  • mibwilso

    Why cover them? Because the serious candidates are too scared to get in the race, so there’s no one else to cover but the nutjobs.

  • BFD

    “Cavuto seems to suggest that even if the media tries “to make a collective joke out of all of them along the way,” one of these supposedly “fringe” candidates very possibly could emerge as the legitimate Republican nominee. ‘

    Exactly, and they wont have a snowballs chance in hell of winning because they have been exposed as pandering, bigoted, morons.

    Check and mate.

    we do it because we have a fetish for clowns…we’re intrigued by them…they are so funny yet kinda scarey at the same time, we’re sick people who love watching train wrecks and high speed police chases, shootouts and horror movies….conservatives provide all that type of entertainment for us…i come on this site because i love interacting with morons like you…thats kinda sick too…watching assholes like your dumb ass wallow in self pity and cry because suddenly you feel disenfranchised humors me….me myself im waiting on Obama to make republican slavery the law of the land….then imma buy you and work ya dumb ass till you drop

    Very good point from Neil Cavuto and delivered in a very classy manner.

    The liberal mainstream media will become irrelevant as some point in the near future; Americans a waking up and understanding the different between facts and propaganda.

    Yes and Rebecca Black being so popular is really because we all just LOVE her music. Neil your argument sucks, the truth is the media just likes trainwrecks. Sarah Palin is sort of like the new Kate plus 8, or whatever the show is called now XD. The GOP doesn’t have strong leaders, that’s why these people are being covered. Maybe that’s the theory he should be investigating…but it’s impossible that Republicans could ever make a mistake right? Never met a group of people so afraid of admitting they are wrong.

    Exactly. These types of liberals are such babies.

    I was talking to a high school kid today and she was saying how they are not encouraged to discuss topics. The teachers just push the information to the kids with their specific (liberal) biases baked in. Sure, they discuss the preconceived opinions, but mostly to the extent of clarifying the indoctrination.

    It’s really amazing how much the liberals have taken over the schools in order to indoctrinate the kids.

  • felixw

    Cavuto is absolutely right. The Left these days is all about comedy routines and one liners. So what the left-leaning media covers on the right is totally driven by what makes for the best jokes. Donald Trump is not a serious candidate, but Mediaite has published around 20 articles on Trump in the last couple weeks…meanwhile completely ignoring a serious candidate such as Mitt Romney. And when they deal with someone like Chris Christie, all they can do is talk about his weight — the idea of how to counter Christie’s shrewd political moves and populist agenda totally escapes them.

    But this should be no surprise to intelligent observers. Remember that leftwing opinion is now shaped more by Comedy Central than by the New York Times. So they have no sense of proportion. No sense of the current state of play in American politics.

    This lack of gravitas is a huge problem for the American Left. Independent and moderate voters have abandoned the Democrat party — as the last election proved. Voters want leadership not clowning and sarcastic one-liners. If the Left continues to ignore the real rules of engagement in politics, and continues to treat everything as one big joke, they will not only lose everything — Senate, House, White House — in 2012, but it will take many years to recover. Much like the Jimmy Carter debacle of an earlier day, but perhaps on even a grander scale.

    it is pretty annoying the way they deal with christie but to be honest a lot of the left wing media people are taking notes from the right wing media’s blitz of obama. Go after the flaws no matter how small. Or in christie’s case, how big. Couldn’t resist that one lol.

    O’Reilly had Trump on his show, and laughed at him. Which is the appropriate response to Trump’s self-aggrandizing media/political campaign. O’Reilly was trying to defuse the Trump birther issue, not propagate it. This is very different from MSNBC, which has now built its whole prime time programming on scoring easy points against straw man targets. They need Trump-type stories, since this kind of garbage is now their bread and butter. They will run hundreds of stories defending Obama’s birth certificate, but not even whisper about the unemployment situation and bleak economy. Big issues are hidden; minutiae is given headline status.

    Whoops, Trump trumped and P’nd the LSM, first he showed his COLB, and the lefty pundits went after like a dog on a bone, screaming it was not a real BC. (dunb, LSM, real dumc) Then Trump came out to say, hey, thats all Obama has shown, as he produced his NY State real authentic BC. which he had gotten in just a couple of days. He said, see how easy it is, when you actually have a BC.

    Want to know who the left and Rinos fear the most? Just look at who they attack the most, it is one Sarah Louise Palin. As the great Reggie Jackson said, “nobody boos a nobody.”

    Using the “gallows humor” excuse again to deflect from the implications of some horribly un-empathetic statement?

    Again, gallows humor is reserved for those on the gallows. Others not subject to the same condition of the people under discussion aren’t sharing the pain of the condemned. They’re conscientiously showing their callousness to it. If people call it a “drool room,” they lauding their own functionality over those in the room. If hospital staff turns on Fox News in front of Alzheimer’s patients, it’s because someone thought it would be funny.

  • roxsteady

    I’ll take this one. You see Neil, if they continue to cover those losers, they’ll remain losers. Just look at the teabaggers rally today. That was some crowd wasn’t it? Ha!

    I find it interesting that you included “the media” in your list of mostly partisan folks who presumably shouldn’t be “too worried” over a “Trump, Bachmann or Palin” candidacy. Yes, a partisan press does belong on that list, unlike the objective, information disseminators liberals would have you believe the media is in general. Freudian slips are always interesting.

    They are losers and the laughing stock of the Republican party. That’s why they are being covered, it’s the same reason that Fox was the network that covered Alvin Greene more than anyone else. He was a joke and an embarrassment to the Democratic party.

    You’re right, I don’t know what the slang “no squash” means. But it’s entirely obvious that, to you, it’s a form of derision – or, as you put it, “gallows humor.”

    Point made. Thanks.

    I think he has the order wrong. First we dismiss them, and then we laugh at them. They are the conservative version of comedians.

  • mediadoubt

    While the media may or may not consider certain pols credible, those pols have news value because they are obiviously testing the waters to see what benefit they might gain from a run (or in Trump’s case, the rumor of a run).

    Their loserness (as the media sees it) doesn’t interfere with their newsworthiness, and in fact adds a circus flavor to the whole debate.

    Cavuto is barking at a balloon.

    Whatever your perverted mind can suggest, I’d rather not know. You seem obsessed with homosexuality. Is there something you would like to tell the group? As for the elderly, there is a thing called “gallows humor”. People who deal with disease and death on a daily basis make jokes about it. Get to know ER workers. Find out what, “no squash” means. Or “GORK” on a chart. It may offend, but you’re not there.
    As for what I do, I read to people. I help them move around. I help them go to therapy. I talk to them. TRy it sometime. You’ll meet some wonderful people.

    .
    When you leave them to live without the radiance that you no doubt think you bring you go to a blog and talk about them as if they are not humans but just another source for your never ending contempt for those who don’t agree with you.

    That is not “gallows humor”. Gallows humor is about a shared painful and dire situation.

    You just make fun of and ridicule people who have done nothing to you all in the name of trying to score sick points on a blog.

    If anyone involved is lacking humanity it is you, you contemptible little worm.

    You literally make me sick.

    I find it so telling that the left leaning bloggers on here say the nastiest, silliest things and have no clue how to talk like adults (probably because they’re not).

    Cavuto, a charming, bright man who doesn’t take himself too seriously. For that, let’s hate him.
    Oh and that “ugly” Greta – one of the smartest people on t.v. – very fair and very balanced (I know – you guys hate that). Well, since you can’t find fault with her program, it’s perfectly reasonable in your minds to attack her looks which are just fine.

    Then we have the fine folks referring to a 13 year old and ridiculing her (feel good there Snow?)
    Saying vile, ugly things about any republican and thinking that indicates their superiority. lol

    Not so much guys – just shows that when you can’t argue content – attack the messenger.

    So, you must just skip over the insults the RWers throw at Maddow, Shultz and Matthew. Maybe you should move out of that glass house.

    Hmmmm, hit a nerve did he? Maybe his post got you thinking that nice man that was sitting beside your bed last night reading that book to you might have been that terrible liberal/progressive Glackin in disguise.

    You know what makes me sick? You coming here and chastizing the children on the other team that come here to play. It’s one of thousand internet comment sites where many of the bullies come out to play and most of the time they don’t play nice. Get use to it or get off of it. Or at the very least chastize them all even the ones on your team or STFU!

    Bachman, Trump and Palin are attacked by Liberals/Progressives/Marxists because that is the only thing they know. They are unable to discuss issues rationally so they take to the personla attack. It’s the Saul Alinksy rule.

  • Wingnut Tormentor

    Cmon Wingers….who do you have to win this thing?

    Nobody right now.

    I think you all know that Bachman, Trump, Cain, and Santorum can’t do it…..and I bet you secretly feel that way about Romney too.

    Sounds like the crackers who keep bringing up the birth cert. stuff. Can’t form a rational argument on the issues, so they go for the personal attacks.

    Cavuto, as usual, is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 Sure, the LIBS will say, “these people get media attention because they are HILARIOUS TRAINWRECKS”, but we True American Patriots know that’s just NOT TRUE!!!!!!1111 These are the same people who believe the INSANE idea that RATINGS do not automatically equal GREAT JOURNALISM!!!!!!!!1111

    If the media is so fascinated by people who don’t have a chance of being president, they could also cover the local librarian and the guy who works on SUVs at the Ford dealer.

  • Colorado_Conservative

    Liberals have to belittle those who they fear….it is straight out of their hand book “rules for radicals” by Saul Alinsky.

    Apologize if this was mentioned earlier, did not have time to read through the posts but it is true.

    “Birthers” can form many rational arguments over the BC issue and are welcoming the chance to have them…it those on the left who cannot form a rational argument about the BC issue so they are the ones who make the personal attacks.

    You totally had that one backwards you racist!!!

    “if you can’t beat’em, laugh at ‘em and hope folks dismiss them.”

    Maybe that needs to be identified as the 11th commandment in the Democrat Playbook. Nevertheless, it still looks like terror causing the Dim ones to whistle past the graveyard.

    Maybe “everyone” who has schoolday recess at the same time you do. But no one on the left seems to be able to prove the existence of the BC. Like you, the anti-American Dim ones can only call names.

  • James Randal

    Did he say that those lunatics might be serious candidates? This diseased animal actually did a softball interview with Herman Cain, a bigot who stated that he would not allow Muslims to serve in his cabinet. This pig is sticking up for his Fox News co-workers. The so-called liberal media needs to wake up and viciously smear this teabagger/GOP pigs and their families. We need to dig through their personal lives and find out every sleazy thing they’ve ever done. Sex tapes, affairs, drug use, etc. We need to go after their families. We need to boycott their businesses. We need to do whatever we can to destroy these uneducated teabagger/GOP pigs.

  • James Randal

    Memo to the non-Fox News related media outlets: Smear these teabagger/GOP pigs. Show them no mercy.

  • misterbee

    “We need to go after their families. We need to boycott their businesses. We need to do whatever we can to destroy these uneducated teabagger/GOP pigs.”

    Ah yes, another Tolerant Leftist heard from. You’re unable to challenge anyone who disagrees with you based on IDEAS, so you resort to your NationalSocialist roots instead and demand mindless attacks on women and children. That’s probably the closest your ever come to saying something truthful.

    Great observation, Cavuto, its too bad the MSM has no idea what your talking about..

    HA! You teabagger/GOP pigs think that Obama is a racist Kenyan Muslim who is running Fema camps. You also believe that evolution is a myth and that the Earth is 6000 years old. It has been scientifically proven that you have low IQs. Do you understand that pig? Teabagger/GOP pigs make sure that tolerant liberals like Gabrielle Giffords end up shot. That is why I fight teabagger/GOP pigs using their tactics. A message to all liberals: NEVER trust a teabagger/GOP pig. Do not be friends with them. They want to kill you.

    No one understands what teabagger/GOP pigs are talking about. The so-called “MSM” is exposing these pigs for what they truly are. They are a national humiliation. Cavuto is too diseased to realize this.

    Cover them because they are unwitting comedians.

    As a PS to my previous comment-

    http://www.bostonherald.com/news/politics/view/2011_0401brown_blasts_dems_checkup_senator_kin_disturbed_by_health_records_search/

    You NationalSocialists can’t deal in truth, so hey! Attack the man’s children. You are SO BRAVE!

  • misterbee

    I’m so glad I can feel the love from all of you “tolerant, caring, Leftists here. Ah twill be a joyous day indeed for the Leftists when they finally take complete control of the country! Then they’ll have the privilege of rounding everyone who disagrees with them, marching us all into camps, and systemically exterminating us. Just like their NationalSoccialist hero, Hitler.

  • george L

    misterbee,
    What the world makes you think liberals want concentration camps?
    Hitler was no liberal.
    I find it hard to believe that anybody could be as paranoid as you.
    Or is this a sick April Fool’s joke attempt?
